Paint job.. After my first ride, you could clearly see where the cables rubbed on the frame. To make this frame top notch would be to have an anodized finish.

Excellent bike, didn't need to play much with the suspension to get the proper setup. Pedaling is great, you really have to try hard to notice you're on a full suspension bike. Yet, the suspension works very well on rough grounds.

After selling my Brodie Sauce a few years back I was hoping to get my hands on another, however Brodie no longer makes them, so I gave the Mettle b-team a try. After test riding one, I found the riding position to be similiar to the Sauce. The bike is built solid and is super stiff. I wasn't quite sure about the rear shock (MC3.3) at first but once I got it dialed it worked very good. Although the bike doesn't have the super steep racer geometry it climbs and accellerates extremely well. It's got good flow through the single track and effortlessly carries speed.
